A bicyclist is slapping and grabbing women’s buttocks as he’s riding around the streets of Astoria, according to police.
The suspect — described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 8 inches tall and with a medium to stocky build — is wanted in three incidents starting earlier this month.
He is first suspected of grabbing a 33-year-old woman’s behind at about 11 a.m. on April 2, near 34th Avenue and 35th Street as he was bicycling.
On April 15, at about 8:45 p.m., the suspect approached a 29-year-old woman while riding a bicycle near 35th Avenue and 41st Street and struck her in the behind with his hand, cops said.
Police say the same bicyclist also slapped the buttocks of a 30-year-old woman the following day at about 11 a.m. around 36th Avenue and 34th Street.
